Every time when the Bayou Alligators launched something new I was pleasantly surprised, but this new album: "Back Home" just blew me away.

The heavy blues, alternated with some fantastic Zydeco music makes this

album a true record.

The build-up and performance of the numbers are really catchy.

Strong drums, supported with a swinging bass are the base. Take the amazing guitar playing (also by the guests) and the beautiful accordion sound, shower this with the voice, which reminds me strongly of “Lee Brilleaux (Dr.Feelgood)” and a new sound is born!

Even the sound of the electric piano and organ come to their own, which is proven by the title song, which I consider to be one of my favourites.

So I want to stamp this album as ‘’ZYDEBLUES’’.

What’s unique of this album is that all numbers are composed by themselves, so no covers but purely their own music. This also counts for the 4 numbers Henk Mutsaers has written. These are professionally edited and really belong to this album.

So if you are a Blues or Zydeco lover, take my advice and buy this album. You will hear it’s really worth it.
